The MYSTERY of GODLINESS !

WHY 33 DAYS  

for  Mariam's purification, 

under the Law of Moses?

MARIAM, a Mortal Human who NEEDED a SAVIOR+

DID MARIAM NEED A SAVIOR+  ?

Or . . . was she born "immaculate", without sin herself ? 

( as some groups teach.) 

Let's look into Scripture to find the truth, as always.

 PAPYRUS 67 with Matthew 5:22 on it

.

Is There a RIGHTEOUS Anger ?

YES . . . according to the Words and EXAMPLE of CHRIST JESUS our LORD.

HE+ Watching Over ISRAEL , Slumbers NOT NOR Sleeps !

Touching the Apple of GOD'S Eye

For thus saith the LORD of hosts;

After the glory hath HE sent ME+

unto the nations which spoiled you:

for he that toucheth you

toucheth the apple of HIS Eye.

Zechariah 2:8

IF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a Nation in the EYES of The ELOHIM . . . What does UNRIGHTEOUSNESS DO ?

Et tu, Brute ? 

It is a pitiful state of public affairs when a nation cannot tell the truth.

  Children used to have their mouths washed out with soap for telling lies.

Lovest Thou ME+ ? . . . . RECLAIMING LOST GROUND

So when they had dined, JESUS saith to Simon Peter,

Simon, son of Jonas,

lovest thou ME+ more than these?

The TEST

Ever since Eve, then Adam, failed The TEST, mankind has had to face The TEST daily, hourly, and even minute by minute: Who will we serve?

The choices are only TWO: Self or The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In every given situation, those two choices are the only options.

Scholarly Deceivers: TATIAN and the DIATESSARON

Do we have a LOVE for The pure WORD+ of GOD ?

Through the ages --- most likely starting as soon as the Memoirs of the Apostles were written --- there has been a group of scholars whose sole scholarly purpose has been to destroy the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament. 

LOVING the Things The LORD LOVES

Loving the things The LORD Loves

What "things" could Our LORD possibly love ? 

HE+ loves those things which bring us closer to HIM+. 

HE+ loves those things which make us more like HIMSELF+.  

This is a repost from a Lenten Meditation . . .  

A CULT of SCHOLARS . . . or . . . The Systematic Destruction of the WORD of GOD

The veneration or adoration of a system of beliefs or philosophies or theories is the foundation of all cults. 

Oddly enough, the word "cult" is NOT derived from words related to darkness or hidden as is the word "occult."

Do You Have The DIVINE WEDDING GARMENT ?

What  is  PRECIOUS to The FATHER?

The BLOOD of HIS SON+,

The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

APOSTATE Eugene Nida: WHERE are BIBLE TRANSLATIONS Heading ?

 Now at the outset ,  let it be known that we all HONOR those Christians who deny themselves and embrace the hardships, loneliness, and risk of going to live in a foreign culture to translate the WORD of GOD  for  tribal people groups to bring the GOSPEL of Salvation to them. 

 But likewise, we are WELL AWARE that not all translators being sent out under the Wycliffe name are zealous Christians with the above-mentioned goals. 

Ascension Day ! Homesick for JESUS ? Yearning to see His+ FACE ?

 Are we homesick for JESUS ?  
Are we yearning for HIM+ ?

It may be that the disciples were, as they watched HIM+ ascend into Heaven in His+ Glorified BODY+ , after HE+ had been with them 40 days and nights. 

RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT . . . IS COMING.

Malachi 3:6

Lift up your heads;

Your Redemption draws near.

Amen!

 The Law of Sowing and Reaping is active!  It is NEVER NULLIFIED in the Kingdom of GOD.  

DISCREDITING the LAST 12 VERSES of MARK: The Amplified Bible and Ryrie's -- KJV Bible

 WHICH MODERN ENGLISH BIBLES DISCREDITED

the Last 12 Verses of MARK ?

See the ending of Mark:  "EPHOBOUNTO GAR"   . . .  for they were afraid, VERSE 8 in the Codex Sinaiticus. Plus, note the decorative marks that show the Book of Mark ended at vs 8 . . . in the SINAITICUS, only 1 of 2 manuscripts sporting such an ending of Mark 16.  The rest of the column

WHICH BIBLE VERSION ? A COMPARISON CHART OF 10 ENGLISH BIBLES

 Here is a  brief comparison chart of just 10 versions that can be read at a glance, with some explanatory notes that follow.
We hope this chart and notes explain the difference clearly so that no-one will be deceived with these modern versions.  

BibleGateway.com has 59 English versions of the New Testament.   This causes immense confusion: “Did GOD really say THAT ? “ 

   

BROTHERS  and  SISTERS,  

It has come to our attention here at the Order of the GOOD SHEPHERD  that many Christians are not aware of the attack upon the Word of GOD that has been going on for decades and has accelerated in the last 10 years. 

The Coming Storm . . . Cleansing the Temple . . . WHO WILL STAND ?

 Revelation 3:18

I+ counsel thee to buy of ME+ gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

WHY Do You Say, LORD... LORD ... ?

Why do you say, 'LORD, LORD'  . . .  and do NOT the things I+ say ? 

Are not My+ Words like a  Refiner's Fire, like a Hammer that breaks the rock, that goes forth through all the earth ?

Pope Francis Ex-Communicated for Heretical Statements by the Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic Church Patriarch

Listen to or read the translation of the Patriarch's excommunication of Pope Francis and of all the charges laid against him.  

 Francis Bergoglio, a Jesuit, has been admonished, warned several times to distance himself from heresies.

The BURIAL FACE CLOTH of Our LORD , the Sudarium or Mandylion , Matches Precisely the Image on the SHROUD

Is this the REAL Burial Face Cloth of Our LORD

or is it another religious gimmick ? 

Here is a 12 minute video by The Two Preachers

HOLY TUESDAY: IN The Night in which HE+ Was Betrayed . . .

In the night in which our LORD was betrayed . . .

By Samson7Able

Communion Service 

 

The Order of the GOOD SHEPHERD+ stays in fellowship with Christian groups which commemorate the LORD'S Crucifixion on "Good Friday."

The actual day, though, would have to be a Wednesday crucifixion. There is no other way to account for "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" as an accurate statement.

STRANGE FIRE on the Altar . . . What are the FREE-THINKERS, Secular Humanists, and Freemasons Doing IN THE CHURCH ?

STRANGE  FIRE on the Altar

What are

Free-Thinkers and Secular Humanists and Free-masons

Doing in the Church ?

Whatsoever they please. . . which results in Division in the Body and , if left unchecked, division from CHRIST.

Was JESUS Wrong ?

But whosoever shall deny ME+ 
before men, 

him will I+ also deny before
 My+ FATHER 

which is in Heaven. 

Matthew 10: 32-33

+  +  +

Was JESUS Wrong ?

Did JESUS Die . . . for AMERICA ?

Did JESUS Die . . . for America ?

Did The LORD JESUS work 

to establish "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"

as a GOD-given, unalienable right ?

No . . . but America's Founding Fathers did .. .. .. 
 some, for all Eternity.

Is Cultural Christianity ENOUGH . . . for the CHURCH ?

Is Cultural Christianity Enough . . . for the CHURCH ?

This issue is VITAL to understand

because it tears apart a congregation.

WHY No CONVICTION of SIN ?

Shame has fled from our Western Civilization along with the Conviction of Sin.  

Why is this ? 

  Could it be that to some extent, 

even Cultural Christianity 
DOES have a function ?

Is Cultural CHRISTIANITY ... ENOUGH ?

Cultural Christianity is enough to have your village maidens kidnapped for a living nightmare --- but it is not enough Christianity when they return, to heal them and receive their illegitimate babies .

SINS OF MY YOUTH --- A PRAYER from the HEART

 O my GOD, I trust in THEE+: let me not be ashamed, 
let not mine enemies triumph over me.

My greatest enemy is Self; help me, O LORD.

What  Does The  FATHER Love ?   

The FATHER loves His Word+ !

HE loves those who LOVE HIS Word and honor it.
